Or lion, as it were: When you watch Vitor Belfort on Saturday night as he headlines UFC Fight Night 106 against Kelvin Gastelum, you might be watching him for the last time.

That thought isn't really intuitive—when Belfort's name comes up, you're more likely to remember him as the TRT-fueled knockout machine of 2013, the middling version who existed outside the UFC for much of the 2000s or, if you've been around long enough, the first proper phenom the sport had ever seen back in the late 1990s.
